It was indeed a wonderful evening. Unfortunately, I was too distracted by the stimulating conversation, excellent food and wine, and (especially) all of the impressive watches to remember to take any pictures even with my phone!

A number of the new 2012 timepieces were brought for display by the Lange people. Included, if my memory serves, was the new Datograph Up and Down (I still prefer the original, but this is certainly a matter of taste), and the new WG "luminous" Lange 1 Timezone (very attractive, now my favorite among the timezones). Also, the incredible Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar (alas without a movement); the dial and watch is really, really impressive. Also a Zeitwerk, but it was overshadowed by the spectacular Stiking Time version on the wrist of one of the watch enthusiast attendees.
